Default Re: Can I communicate with user of my open WiFi router?

Not sure if this situation is quite legit or not.
But if they had a network printer, and you can access it, then send them a
letter! 8^)
Interesting if you could send them a POP-UP window or IM! ;-)

Possibly, there is a "feature", lets call it a thing, in most windows
systems called network messaging.... If the user hasn't blocked it (spammers
sometimes use it now), look for a program callled "KIll the messanger", in
the what it does and why you need it, it will tell you all about it.....
